Amino acid chelated zinc with good bioavailability and gentle on stomach
We rank Zinc Bisglycinate by price per 10mg - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Zinc Bisglycinate is a form of zinc that has been chelated. Chelated means the mineral is bonded to an amino acid, which is a basic building block of protein, to help the body absorb it more easily.
It is used because it has good bioavailability, meaning the body can take up and use the mineral more effectively than some other forms. It is also known for being gentle on the stomach, reducing the nausea often associated with zinc supplements.
To make this supplement, manufacturers combine zinc with the amino acid glycine in a controlled chemical reaction. This process creates a stable bond that protects the zinc until it reaches the gut, where it is then processed into a powder and put into capsules or tablets.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the chelation process is more complex and expensive to perform than the simple manufacturing used for basic zinc salts, but there is still enough market competition to keep costs moderate.
